The winner is and other things

By -



Well the winner of the contest is Tom . But I don't think Tom wants a yarn bag that is blue? Do you Tom? You let me know! More on this later. Congratulations Tom for knowing the Frugal Hungarian's nature!

Other things:

It's really summer this weekend. HEAT HUMIDITY. and BREEZES that are so appreciated you want to lean back and sigh every time a breeze passes over you. So in keeping with this I am showing you two motorcycle images of this summer. I do not ride a motorcycle but I think it would be so fun. Don't worry, this woman won't even ride in the car without her seatbelt and cannot get on a horse without a panic, so I never will ride a motorcycle.

But, they are interesting to me. The little is a Honda from the 60s that a friend finally got around to reviving. I think it is so cute with it's blue color. I could have it for a song. But, that's a lot of yarn.......

The other image Zach took with his artistic eye, at a garbage heap we walked past on vacation. I love the image. Not the garbage, or the dump, but the way the vines grew around it anyhow. I like the bit of red you can see.

So just because you never know what I'll post, and I knew you wouldnt mind: there are the motorcycles of my 49th summer!


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Firemen usually always need another good bag to carry all their junk in! You could even embroider his name on it.

I love the artsy photos and I know what you mean--I am fascinated by bikes but would never ride one. DS (my fireman) rides a big one and I worry about him all the time!

The first bike looks like it could use a loving restoration. The second one is beautiful.

By the way, I bought a 320 GB Seagate external hard drive from Office Depot for about 80 bucks. I was going to have to redo my laptop. I love it.

We have the heat, the humidity, but no breeze!

Makes it really hard to knit wool!

I can't believe I won.

Well the reason I know how tough it is to guess the right yarn for someone is because I've tried to do it (not entirely successfully)! My wife is a knitter too and would love it. As a matter of fact, she's one of your regulars.

I'll send you e-mail next and maybe you'll recognize the name :-)

Thanks so much for a fun contest. In fact she sent me over to answer the photo saving question.

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
